Procedure
To a solution of (6-bromo-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methanol (Mann, J., et al, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 (1984):2081-8) (1.27 g, 5.50 mmol) in THF (45.0 mL) was added n-BuLi (5.00 mL, 2.0 M, 10.0 mmol) dropwise at −75° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −75° C. for 45 min followed by the addition of a solution of 1-pentyl-1H-indole-2,3-dione (1.00 g, 4.60 mmol) in THF (20.0 mL) at −75° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 hrs and quenched with ammonium chloride solution (5.00 mL). More ethyl acetate and water were added and separated. The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was subjected to column chromatography eluting with 50% EtOAc:Hexanes to yield the title compound (0.29 g, 25%) as a solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.38-7.24 (m, 2H), 7.11 (t, 1H), 6.91 (d, 1H), 6.81 (s, 1H), 6.43 (s, 1H), 5.90-5.87 (m, 2H), 4.77 (dd, 2H), 3.75-3.56 (m, 2H), 1.75-1.58 (m, 2H), 1.26-1.35 (m, 2H), 0.89-0.83 (m, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 177.8, 147.4, 147.2, 142.8, 133.5, 132.2, 131.1, 130.1, 125.3, 123.8, 111.4, 109.2, 108.1, 101.5, 79.5, 64.7, 40.4, 29.0, 26.8, 22.3, 13.9; MS (ES+) m/z 352.1 (M−17).
